Bystander shot in Northside driveway shootout, details unclear

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A innocent bystander caught in a Northside shootout was shot in the back Saturday afternoon.

Around 3:45 p.m., two people started shooting at each other as one of the shooters was backing out of the driveway in a vehicle, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

JSO did give First Coast News two possible accounts of what may have happened.

"Also, it could have been just one guy was shooting, at the car, it depends on your perspective as to where you're standing to see the event. Both participants left the area, at least one in a car," [sic] according to a JSO email to First Coast News.

An innocent bystander was shot in the lower back across the street from the shoting.

The female victim, 48, was taken to UF Health in stable condition.

The motive for the shooting is unknown to police and the investigation is ongoing.
